Welcome to your downtown escape — a calm and creative retreat in the heart of Sofia. Designed with comfort, style, and convenience in mind, this freshly furnished suite is perfect for couples, solo adventurers, or digital nomads looking to explore the city like locals. You’ll stay just steps away from Sofia’s historic streets, trendy cafés, and vibrant energy — yet the apartment itself offers a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. Original artwork by my grandfather adds a personal and artistic touch you won’t find anywhere else. Inside, you’ll find a brand-new space that feels instantly like home. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need — whether you’re cooking dinner for two or making a quick espresso before heading out. From olive oil and seasonings to a hotplate stove and coffee machine, you’ll have all the essentials covered.

Many trams and buses now support contactless payment too, so you can tap your card and ride with ease.
